At Impact NW, we believe in the strength and resilience of our community. After all, we were started by a group of neighbors who believed that by coming together they could create change for families in the Portland area. Our 2025 Impact Report is filled with stories, demonstrated progress, and a belief that collectively we can keep families housed.
